unique. In the sign, outdoor, container and energy sectors and in many other markets: Heytex
technical textiles are consistently always among the most efficient solutions. At Techtextil 2013
in Frankfurt, Heytex will present highlights of its comprehensive product range.

high-quality coatings, optimally fitting the respective field of application, are used in a wide
variety of indus-tries.

The entire portfolio: In addition to applications in the sign and large format
digital print market as well as truck tarpaulins, Heytex special fabrics are also used in
industrial and agricultural production (e.g. conveyor belts, sealings for door systems etc.), in
the field of regen-erative energies (biogas membranes), in boat building, as flexible containers
and storage tanks (e. g. drinking water containers, ship-ping containers, silo tanks, bulk material
containers etc.) in environ-mental protection (e. g. oil booms), as roofing material for

In the Headquarters and main factory in Bramsche, Heytex concen-trates on high-quality and
state-of-the-art spread coating technol-ogy for widths of up to 5 m. Since the establishment of the
